Overview of the Alzheimer′s Condition

Abstract

Anny Anderson* and Seamy Grace

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological condition that worsens over time despite having a slow progression. It is believed to be the root of 60-70% of cases of dementia. The most typical initial sign is trouble remembering recent events. Language problems, disorientation (including getting lost easily), mood swings, loss of desire, self-neglect, and behavioral disorders are all potential signs of illness progression. When a person's health starts to deteriorate, they frequently isolate themselves from friends and relatives. Over time, the body's abilities decline, ultimately resulting in death. Despite the fact that the rate of advancement varies, the typical life expectancy after diagnosis is three to nine years.
